Looks like another AOL IM profile trojan is floating around.  It creates
a  profile that says "Happy Holidays Everyone!!!" and has a link below
that to http: // www. buddypicture. net/  When the link is clicked on,
your AIM profile is changed.  Looks like it's a variant of the RealPHX
trojan again.  I have updated my webpage appropriatly about this trojan.
